1. Context 20-20-20 targets by 2020 Multiannual Financial Framework for 2014- 2020 sets out budgetary framework and main orientations for delivering Europe 2020 strategy Intention to increase the proportion of climate related expenditure to at least 20% in the next EU budget (2014-2020)

1. Context Climate as integral part of all main instruments and interventions: Mainstreaming (= Climate action objectives need to be reflected in all main instruments to ensure that they contribute to building a low- carbon, resource efficient and climate resilient economy that will enhance Europes competitiveness, create more and greener jobs, strengthen energy security and bring health benefits; COM(2011)500 final, 29.6.2011, A budget for Europe 2020) with contributions from different policies (eg. cohesion, research, CAP) LIFE+ to contribute: coordinating sources of funding, filling funding gaps, supporting solutions to transversal climate challenges and providing a platform to discuss effective and cost-efficient implementation of climate policies.

3. Priority areas and their objectives Climate Change Mitigation contributes to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions Climate Change Adaptation supports efforts leading to increased resilience to climate change Specific objectives will ensure financing of: Policy studies for development of Union policy and legislation and support for local implementation Improving local and regional capacity to develop and implement climate actions in practice, incl. NGOs Facilitate development and implementation of integrated strategies and action plans at regional level centred around climate objectives and mainstreaming across policy areas Development and demonstration of innovative technologies, systems, methods and instruments for replication, transfer or mainstreaming (thetraditional projects)

4. Example of an awareness raising project in Poland currently funded under LIFE+ Poland is EUs largest GHG emitter, large renewable energy potential (47%), adaptation strategies needed NGO raises awareness of climate impacts Among leading politicians and businesses Stimulates initiatives to support practical local climate measures Network of 220 people, training for 1400 local managers Pilot low carbon development programme Mainstreaming of climate action at local level Increased knowledge and awareness of climate threats and of ways to protect the climate

4. Example of a climate mitigation project in Sweden: Renewable Source of Energy A complete facility for producing a carbon neutral biomass pellet fuel, using an innovative method to convert agricultural residues into a more sustainable fuel and heat energy supply and: 100% reduction of waste from an agricultural seed production Closed-loop energy system providing 100% fossil fuel free heating of buildings and drying operations 100% reduction of methane emissions from decaying agricultural residues District heating initiative using heat generated at the facility New way of sequestering carbon dioxide from atmosphere Dissemination of project results to delegations from over 40 countries through project facility study visits.

4. Example of a potential Integrated Project: Innovative City A city aims to reduce CO2 emissions by [50%] in 2020 and to rebuild city as low-energy city Actions to combine innovative potential of local companies for broader public improvements Retrofitting of houses (energy efficiency) Heating of municipal institutions with low-cost / -carbon technologies Raise awareness for energy efficiency Facilitate introduction of low carbon accounting tools Re-locating of innovative green companies PPP for electric mobility using e-cars and e-bikes Positive impacts on the community (e.g. businesses, growth and employment, green city)
